The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

"The next speaker is Professor Zhang Zhenqing from South China Agricultural University. He is an expert in the field of veterinary medicine. He will give the first lecture to everyone."

Professor Zhang Zhenqing stood up. It was his first time to participate in a special department meeting, so he was rather reserved. After standing up, he smoothed his sparse hair and swallowed.

As we were talking about inside the room, on one side were the investigation department personnel in black, and on the other side were the senior military leaders in emerald green uniforms. It would be a lie to say that I wasn't nervous.

As a master in this field, if the school had not received instructions from higher authorities to send him here, he would probably never have dealt with these people present in his entire life.

"Jerboa, a rodent, is also called three-toed jerboa or Gobi jerboa in my country~!"

"It is widely distributed in arid and semi-arid regions of Asia, Africa and Europe. Among them, the three-toed jerboa is the most numerous. In my country, it is also widely distributed in deserts and desert steppes~!"

Before Professor Zhang came, he had prepared his lessons in advance. Once he started to get into the mood, his reserved look gradually faded away.

He picked up an enlarged photo on the table and treated the people below as students, and he no longer stuttered when speaking.

The black and white photo was still very clear. Everyone in the conference room could see it clearly. Everyone listened very attentively. The professor was talking and everyone was taking notes.

This case has become an extremely special typical example of using live animals to bring out radioactive materials. This is the first time in the new country and is destined to leave a significant mark in the history of anti-espionage and anti-espionage.

Li Feng looked at the Gobi jerboa in the photo. He couldn't see its color, but he could recognize the long ears on its head. It was the one that stuck its head out of the suitcase.

The photo shows its complete appearance. As a member of the rodent family, this jerboa really brings honor to the mouse family. Its long legs are thin and long, similar to those of a kangaroo.

Unlike the mouse's tail which gradually becomes thin and becomes pink and disgusting, the jerboa's tail is symmetrical and almost twice the length of its body. There is a tuft of fur at the end of the tail, which is very cute.

Without its long legs and tail, it looks just like a rabbit that was just a few days old. In this way, it can be said to be the most beautiful among rodents.

"The photo is an enlargement. In reality, jerboas are very small and don't grow very big. At most, they are only half the size of my palm. They look quite cute, but jerboas are not actually clean. Some of their bodies may contain plague bacteria."

"I saw this little fellow when I took my students to the Western Regions. The three-toed jerboa is not afraid of people. Not only is it not afraid of people, it is also friendly and gentle. When it sees people, it will jump over and let you catch it. Even if you open your palm, it will not move. It is very well-behaved. Hey, let you touch it~!"

Professor Zhang put down the photo, as if he was lost in memories of the past, with a faint smile on his face. It seemed that he was very impressed by this little guy.

The professor laughed, but the people in the conference room couldn't laugh. The distribution locations of the little guys were highly consistent with the nuclear test and atomic bomb test areas~!

Being close to people means it is easier to catch, but that does not mean that this leak is not accidental but inevitable.

But this time, I was caught red-handed because I was leaving the country from Baiyun Airport. Next time, should I go to another place? The long border may not be defendable.

"Professor Zhang, can you tell me about the distribution and number of three-toed jerboas in our country? Are there any statistics on this?"

Li Feng tapped his chin with the pen in his hand. Sitting next to the military personnel, he raised his hand and asked proactively.

"There are no specific statistics, but based on my experience in the Western Regions in 56, there should be quite a lot of them. In addition to the three-toed jerboa, there are also five-toed jerboas, etc.~!"

"As a rodent, I guess the number of times it goes into heat each year and the number of babies it has per litter should be quite high. That time, we were mainly studying wild camels and yaks, and rodents were not the focus. We were limited by school funds and information...!"

Professor Zhang pushed his sparse hair closer to his fringe and smiled sheepishly. From the coarse clothes he wore, one could tell how little funding there was for animal research.

"Thank you, Captain. Are the two jerboas still alive?"

Li Feng nodded slightly and shifted his gaze to the chemical defense regiment.

"Alive and well, it looks healthy now. It stopped being restless after I fed it some food~!"

Li Feng's question and Captain Xie's answer made everyone present feel a little confused, and there might be even more confusion within the Chemical Defense Regiment.

Nuclear radiation is extremely harmful to the human body, but why do the two jerboas seem to have no effect at all? Even though their bodies are covered with high concentrations of radioactive fallout, they are still alive and well.

"I think we can add a new research topic for Professor Zhang. How do jerboas survive in a high-radiation environment? This is something that is still unknown in China!"

"As an investigation team, we not only need to find out the problems, but also take corresponding preventive measures, especially for the organisms in the test area of ​​the Gobi Desert in northwest my country, which we need to focus on observation and prevention."

"I suggest that Professor Zhang conduct corresponding research and allocate funds to at least figure out the underlying principles." After attracting the attention of many participants present, Li Feng cleared his throat, expressed his opinion, and then looked at the head of the army sitting in the first seat.

"Not only do we need to study and understand the underlying principles, but we also need to conduct targeted killings. Radiation is invisible, and animals are mobile. It is very necessary to prevent people from accidentally eating or touching them, and to protect people's lives and property."

"Agree~!"

"Agree~!"

"...!"

At the first meeting of the investigation team, these two measures were quickly passed. The two mice in the chemical defense regiment might never have thought that they had finally adapted to the radiation environment and survived just because they took a flight.

The result is that they have to face the situation that, on the one hand, they are dissected, sliced ​​and studied, devoting themselves to scientific research, and on the other hand, their own population is about to face a devastating disaster. This flight is too harmful to the rats.

Professor Zhang was not at all intimidated by the new research topic. Instead, he was eager to give it a try. Radiation sickness is also a disease, and since it is a veterinary medicine specialty, he has to find a way to cure it.

The course about the two jerboas was over, and Professor Zhang was politely asked to leave the meeting room. Then Team Leader Xie straightened his clothes and walked up to the podium with a serious expression.

"Here is the report on the inspection of radioactive fallout on the jerboa by Commander Xie of the 21st Chemical Defense Regiment~!"

Captain Xie distributed the report he brought from the end of the long conference table to both sides, one copy for each person. After the people below took it, they began to read it carefully.

The report has several pages, which contain not only the test results, but also many special symbols and radiation parameters. For people who do not understand nuclear physics, it is quite difficult to understand them.

"The suitcase was opened by our team and we found a sealed box made of lead plates. The two jerboas were in the lead box when they were being carried. However, the feeding port was accidentally opened and one of them escaped. It almost caused radioactive fallout contamination. Fortunately, we took appropriate control measures~!"

"The corresponding results can be obtained from the specially made lead box. The people who carried it were deliberate. They knew that there was high-intensity radiation in the jerboa. After blood tests, George Watt's white blood cells were reduced and his platelets were significantly reduced. That was because of the impact of exposure to radiation on his blood. The external manifestation was that his right hand showed obvious radiation burns."

Captain Xie of the Chemical Defense Regiment made the final decision. With the corresponding evidence, the overseas personnel involved could be nailed down.

This is for the leaders to see, and is also prepared for use in verbal battles with the diplomatic department. With this report, when someone is making unreasonable demands, we can simply give them a slap in the face.

"Inside and outside the box, whether it was the feeding tools or the bodies of the two jerboas, all were found to contain radioactive fallout such as cesium 137. These substances could only have come from the atomic bomb test site or nuclear reaction area."

"Through analysis of radioactive materials, we found that these isotope characteristics were highly consistent with the products of Lancheng 404 Factory, indicating that the two jerboas had been close to nuclear industrial facilities and could even have come into close contact with an atomic bomb explosion site."

"Factory 404 is the processing unit that produced our country's first atomic bomb. I hope everyone understands what this means. From these radioactive materials, we can analyze the research progress of our country's nuclear weapons,~!"

Guessed or confirmed, Captain Xie's last words undoubtedly caused an uproar in the conference room.

"It really has something to do with the atomic bomb~!"

Li Feng couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. The country had invested so much material and financial resources, but it had only been more than two years since the first bomb exploded, and two jerboas had already drilled a hole in it.

No wonder even the director of the political department has his eyes on this. Anything related to the atomic bomb is really fatal.

"Was it George Watt who entered Factory 404, or were the two jerboas brought out by the staff inside Factory 404, or were they simply caught at the Lop Nur Gobi Explosion Test Site~!"

The two jerboas are shrouded in numerous mysteries, and the problems they reflect are almost like poking a hole in the sky.

"In Lancheng, Factory 404 has been temporarily taken over, workers are on holiday, and entry and exit are restricted. Comrades, our task is arduous. The government attaches great importance to it. Although no specific time has been given to solve the case, we have to tighten the clockwork ourselves~!"

"Is it collusion between the inside and outside, or is it lax defense that gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage?"

"The atomic bomb project is our country's national sword and a great weapon. Countless scientific research staff have invested their hard work in it~!"

"Now, there are foreign organizations that want to get their hands on our foundation!

"We will never compromise~!"

"No compromise~!" (End of this chapter)
